Blocked jet? No water in the bottle under the bonnet?

Do the front ones work?

The jet will be blocked, very common problem.

Is there an easy way of unblocking it?

Garage airline but pop the cover off inside the tailgate and blow it through that way.

Yes easy, open the tailgate and remove the inner cover, clips on and one small screw you then see the motor and washer piping, remove and blow through.

I removed the jet itself and with a needle I just unblocked it. Worked a treat  :wink:
